Re: [PRIMROSES] Kirengeshoma was Planting under trees was: New Member Bio

Hi Marge:  Both Kirengeshoma palmata and koreana require moist soil in
partial shade and not allowed to dry out in late summer.  I have lost them

PS.  Kind of warm hear.  Clematis alpines starting to grow; plum tree buds
showing colour.  A few primula in bloom.
